And more facts about the long tail ...

The long tail will always contain the major traditional broadcasters - people like sequential and predisposed schedules (linear), easier, simpler and faster - that is why TV watchers are usually refer as "couch potatoes".

But then, it some of the programs will compete with user generated content - see Amanda Congdon and her video blog for her relocation - generating 211,000 daily views (8791 views per hour average) and her now star status ("The new ABC role may make Congdon the first video blogger to make the jump to a major network").

The user generated content is making enormous steps and it is quicker and quicker at catching up with traditional TV - think that most of the views are "word of mouth", requiring 0 advertising - but with the ability to generate !

To have a laugh - go and visit Rocketboom - Amanda's news parody.
